001 - Artificial Intelligence and You - Yes, You

  The first episode of "AI and You" introduces the host - that's me, Peter Scott - and some excitable explanation of what this podcast is all about. Artificial intelligence is growing in importance and impact on our lives, our jobs, and our world. While we face other urgent challenges, AI is quietly reshaping the workplace and laying the ground for social and economic upheaval. That's why I wrote a book about this: Crisis of Control: How Artificial SuperIntelligences May Destroy or Save the World and gave a TEDx talk: How to Save Us From Being Left Behind By AI. With partners around the world, I teach people how to prepare themselves to leverage the disruptions that are coming. This first episode gives you an idea of the spaces we'll cover: The breadth of AI from its technology to its philosophy. Our guests will range from neuroscientists to science fiction authors. Prepare to stretch your brain!
